Tuesday and Wednesday session (little late)
With it now being the new season bolton are going to have to make some serious improvements and add more depth to their squad if they are to do well this season.
With a fair few new faces coming in. Boltons starting line up is looking better than ever. Lets just hope they play as well as their skills look. After the dissappointing finish to last season Lee Owens really needed to prove himself once and for all. Here is how the first games of the season went.
Charlton 1-1 Bolton Scorers: Arfa
The first game of the new season and arfa was yet again on loan at bolton for yet another season. His goal helped bolton get their first point of the season. Not a bad start considering it was Charlton.
West Ham 2-1 Bolton (League Cup) Scorers: Arfa
Still early days yet as bolton got their first defeat of the season. Although bolton played pretty well marthinsen just couldnt keep the goals out. It may of been the league cup a cup that Lee Owens wasnt really interested in winning but still it would of been nice to get far in it.
Bristol 2-1 Bolton Scorers: Arfa
The good news was that the Bolton defence seemed a lot better this season so far the bad news was that they lost 2-1 again although it would of finished 1-1 if it wasnt for bristol scoring a goal on the 90th minute.
Bolton 1-0 Reading Scorers: Arfa
Boltons first win of the season this was. Although the scoreline wasnt exactly convincing it was enough to put a smile on manager Lee Owens' face.
Bolton 3-1 West Ham Scorers: Davies (3)
This was a little bit of revenge for the league cup that they went out of because of West Ham. A great performance gave bolton their highest win so far this season and they seemed like they were to be playing well but they lost the next game so that ended that.
Rushden 3-1 Bolton Scorers: Arfa
A rather poor game for bolton which they didnt think they would lose but they did. Arfa scored again but that meant little as rushden scored 3. Lee Owens was upset after this game but he didnt want it to effect him too much as it is still early days yet so not all is lost.
A not too bad start for bolton meant that they currently lied in 12th place. If bolton could get some sort of winning momentum together they could maybe be pushing for promotion if not then it could be another failed club in the hands of Lee Owens.
Lee Owens declared himself reasonably happy with the way his team started this season and said that he has a new formation that should work well with the side and hopefully get the more wins and more goals as at the moment they wasnt exaclty scoring many. Keep an eye on how the mighty bolton do by keeping up to date with this thread. Will the new formation work? and how long can arfa go on keep scoring and not stop? find out here.......
End of season report to follow in morning......
